Alternatively make myth use a mixed output (e.g. alsa dmix or pulse-audio), and have the computer "keep the audio circuit open" (for want of a better term). The pop is from your computer's output turning on. Again, your ears have the final say.<br><br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>
